Send files & text between phone and computer
Scan a QR code and send photos, PDFs, videos, text or links straight across your Wi-Fi — no app, no cable, no WhatsApp-to-yourself, and the files never go through a server.

Scan this code with your phone
Use the phone’s camera app or any QR scanner. Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi.
On your phone? Open this page on your computer (midnightstudio.online/send), then scan the code it shows.

Device to device — files never touch a server
How it works
- Open this page on your computer — a QR code appears.
- Scan it with your phone. The two devices connect directly.
- Pick files on either device; they appear on the other one, ready to save.
Questions
Do my files go through your server?
No. The QR code only helps the two devices find each other: a few short, encrypted setup messages pass through our relay, and then the files travel directly between your phone and computer over an encrypted WebRTC connection. We never see or store them.
Why do both devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
A direct connection is only reliable inside the same network. We deliberately don’t relay files through a server when a direct link isn’t possible, so if it can’t connect, join both devices to the same Wi-Fi (guest networks often block devices from seeing each other).
Do I need to install an app?
No. It works in the browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux. The phone can scan with its own camera app or with the scanner on this page.
Is there a file size limit?
There is no fixed limit; files of several hundred MB work. Very large files are held in the receiving browser’s memory until you save them, so on an older device send big videos one at a time.
Can someone else connect to my computer?
Only a device that has the QR code. Each code is random, single-use and expires after 30 minutes, and its secret key never leaves the two devices. Once paired, nobody else can join.
Can I send text and links?
Yes. Type or paste into the text box and press Send. A link opens with one tap on the other device; any text can be copied with one tap — handy for addresses, account numbers or a long web address.
Do I have to scan every time?
No, if you want. Once connected, tick “Remember this device” on both devices. Next time, open this page on both and they connect by themselves. Untick it or press Forget to stop; a device unused for 90 days is forgotten automatically. It is stored only in your browser — don’t tick it on a shared computer.
Can I send from the computer to the phone too?
Yes. Once connected, either device can send, as many files as you like.
